vivo has introduced a new smartphone in India called the Y18t, which is the fourth member of the Y18 lineup. It is essentially the same phone as the vanilla model, but with a much less capable processor along with a lack of a fingerprint scanner, adding up to a lower price tag.
The Y18t sports a 6.56-inch 720p LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 840 nits. Under the hood, it runs in a Unisoc T612 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is expandable via microSD card. On the protection side, it gets an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance while for software, it ships with Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14.
For imaging, it gets a very basic setup with a 50MP main camera, a depth sensor, and an 8MP selfie shooter. Powering the entry-level smartphone is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W charging. Connectivity-wise, it supports 4G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and it comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Y18t is offered in black and green colour options, retailing at INR9,499 (~RM505). For now, it is unknown if or when the budget device will be released in other markets.
